5-Day Mid-Range Serengeti Tour with Africa Safari

Cover three highlights in a 5-Day safari tour: the Central Serengeti, the Ndutu calving season, and the Ngorongoro Crater’s wildlife concentration. This adventure combines the comfort of mid-range lodges with the thrill of witnessing the Great Wildebeest Migration and predator interactions. Begin your journey in Arusha and enjoy bush flights that make travel between parks seamless.

Your first night is spent at Africa Safari Rift Valley, located just outside Karatu. This lodge offers a relaxed atmosphere with a mix of safari-style tents and bungalow rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms. Meals are hearty and served buffet-style, ensuring you have the energy for your daily adventures. The lodge’s proximity to the Ngorongoro Crater allows for early morning departures, maximizing your chances of spotting wildlife.

Next, immerse yourself in the heart of the action at Hippo Trails Camp in the Central Serengeti. This tented camp provides an authentic safari experience, with meals that include picnic breakfasts and communal dinners. The Meru-style tents are comfortable and functional, allowing you to focus on the incredible wildlife surrounding you. Being inside the park means you can take advantage of dawn and dusk game drives, when predators are most active.

Your final night is spent at Sero Tented Camp Ndutu, strategically located for witnessing the dramatic calving season. Here, you’ll enjoy basic but filling meals and the chance to follow the action closely with off-road permits. The camp’s Meru-style tents provide a cozy retreat after a day of thrilling wildlife encounters.

This safari is perfect for both first-timers and those returning to explore Tanzania’s rich landscapes and wildlife. With multiple nights in each area, you’ll have the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the unique experiences each park offers, from the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater to the vibrant life of the Serengeti plains.
